About Manor Hall Academy Trust
Welcome from the CEO
I am honoured to lead an organisation with such a rich history and strong commitment to delivering exceptional education to all students. Manor Hall Academy Trust is more than just a collection of schools; it is a community united by a shared ethos, where our values and aspirations drive everything we do.
Our roots are in specialist education, serving the most vulnerable children and young people. Yet, we believe that the principles we uphold—excellence, mutual respect, and high expectations—are universal and apply to every school within our Trust. Every child deserves the opportunity to achieve their full potential, regardless of their background or abilities.
At Manor Hall, we understand that schools thrive under the leadership of visionary, community-focused, and resourceful individuals. Our vision is to empower schools to flourish with real autonomy while fostering a culture of collaboration and support. Our governance model ensures that every school feels a sense of belonging and is equipped to improve continuously. Together, we are making a significant impact on the lives of children and young people, especially those who are most in need of our care and expertise.
As we continue to grow, we remain committed to balancing our expansion with the need to deliver outstanding outcomes for the children and young people we serve today, while also preparing for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow. Our Trust is dynamic, ready to adapt to the changing needs of society, and committed to ensuring that every child in our care is prepared for a successful future.
We believe in an education system where the strong support the developing, fulfilling our civic responsibility to uplift all students. Our growth has included sponsoring schools in need of support, responding to emerging educational demands with innovative solutions, and leading in the development of inclusive practices for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
For any school considering joining our Trust, it is crucial to align with our vision. We seek partners who are eager to be part of something larger, to share their expertise, and to embrace the collective responsibility of ensuring excellence across the Trust. We are stronger together, and we welcome those who are ready to contribute to and benefit from our shared mission.
I look forward to working with all of you to continue making Manor Hall Academy Trust a beacon of excellence in education.
Phil Harrison,
CEO, Manor Hall Academy Trust
